Whereas extant studies on corporate social responsibility (CSR) have documented various favorable individual outcomes, potential social effects of CSR beyond mere economic influences, such as employees’ eudaimonic well-being, are often overlooked. Drawing on a sensemaking perspective, our research examines how corporate social responsibility (CSR) leads to employees’ eudaimonic well-being and enhances job performance. We used three-source data covering senior managers and employees from 62 organizations to test our hypotheses. The results of the study show that CSR elicits employees’ perceived meaningfulness, which in turn contributes to employees’ eudaimonic well-being as well as job performance. Furthermore, we found that when CEO’s humble leadership is high, CSR would function better on employees’ perceived meaningfulness. Overall, this study provides a nuanced understanding of CSR by examining when and how it can simultaneously facilitate employees’ eudaimonic well-being and job performance. The findings also provide important suggestions and implications for organizational sustainability.

我们可以吃蛋糕吗？企业社会责任与员工幸福感和绩效

尽管现有的关于企业社会责任 (CSR) 的研究已经记录了各种有利的个人成果，但企业社会责任的潜在社会影响超出了单纯的经济影响，例如员工的幸福感，往往被忽视。从意义建构的角度出发，我们的研究考察了企业社会责任 (CSR) 如何导致员工的幸福感并提高工作绩效。我们使用涵盖 62 个组织的高级管理人员和员工的三源数据来检验我们的假设。研究结果表明，企业社会责任激发了员工的感知意义，这反过来又有助于员工的幸福感和工作绩效。此外，我们发现，当 CEO 的谦逊领导力较高时，企业社会责任会更好地发挥员工感知意义的作用。全面的，本研究通过检验企业社会责任何时以及如何同时促进员工的幸福感和工作绩效，提供了对企业社会责任的细致入微的理解。研究结果还为组织的可持续性提供了重要的建议和启示。
